“I have had a couple of traditional style tens machines before so this one is an improvement and I find it more powerful. It takes a bit of getting used to with settings but as I say it's more powerful, the unit itself is tiny and the reason I purchased the bundle with the belt is the flexibility of having the belt option in hotter months when the pads aren't always comfortable and can become too sticky. The only thing when using the belt on the leg area is the velcro is uncomfortable which I noted was mentioned by another reviewer which is why I couldn't give 5 stars otherwise I'm very happy. It will be interesting to see how well the pads wear compared to the traditional style ones I'm used to. Thanks for the speedy delivery, much appreciated.”
Hi there! Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear that you are finding the velcro on our Biobelt annoying. As long as the pad is touching your skin you'll find the BioBelt will still work, so essentially the velcro belt can sit over your clothes if that is more comfortable. Alternatively, we do have the BodySystems Belt which is designed with a thicker and more comfortable belt which may be more suitable.
“My second Pain Pod.
I bought my first around 10 years ago (which still works, uses the same pads and kept charge packed away in a box for about 4 years).
I can now use the Pods together on different areas or with large pads on one and small on the other. (Hubby now borrows one when he needs it too!)
I'm grateful that the pad wires and pads are the same connections across the range as my old wires and pads weren't in great condition any more. I am glad that there are extra large pads and the back specific pad too.
Turning to my Pain Pod(s) again has helped ease chronic pain from a spinal injury and neuropathic pain from a genetic neurological/nerve condition. They are also helping to work muscles and circulation in my legs which don't work properly now.
My only disappointment is that the new Pod has 2 less programs than my original. I will never be pain free, but my pain level when using Pain Pod is half that without. I am able to cut back significantly on harsh pain medication and take less rest periods each day.”
“Delivered in good time. Had some problems at first, sent message, got a quick, courteous and helpful reply. Too early to tell if it will provide lasting relief, but good so far.”
Thanks for your feedback, Rob! The intensity should be the same throughout all of your pads, however, their adhesion or certain areas of the body can feel less intense than others. We hope you are still feeling the benefits nonetheless. You may be interested to know that our dual-port devices (PainPod 3 and Pro Touch) will allow you to independently adjust the intensity per each set of pads :)
